This is kind of a guilty pleasure for me but, I've got to give Jason Mraz props. He's a talented dude. His songwriting is strong and consistent, he does a solid job on the guitar and vocally, he's one of the best male singers today. While tihs is mostly a pop album, some songs have tinges of country, rap, reggae and jam to them. Highlight track "Waiting For My Rocket To Come" features Mraz rapping/singing over a funky beat with some nice banjo playing. "On Love, In Sadness" also borders on country and has some excellent lyrics. Overall, a great debut from a talented young man.
